13. Base your answer to the following question on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

There are six elements in Group 14 on the Periodic Table. One of these elements has the symbol Uuq. which is a temporary, systematic symbol. This element is now known as flerovium. Explain, in terms of electron shells, why each successive element in Group 14 has a larger atomic radius, as the elements are considered in order of increasing atomic number.​

From our knowledge of periodic trends, the screening effect of the inner electrons outweigh the increase in nuclear charge causing the atomic radius to increase.

Periodic trends

The periodic trends are those properties that increase or decrease down the group or across the period. These periodic trends include;

  • Ionization energy
  • Electron affinity
  • Atomic radius
  • Ionic radius etc

As more shell are added down the group in group 14, the screening effect of the inner electrons outweigh the increase in nuclear charge causing the atomic radius to increase.
